Changing the template associated with an application version

You can modify many settings for an existing application version, including its issue template. However, keep in mind that assigning a different issue template to an application version or updating an issue template on the server results in loss of synchronization between the database cache and existing audit sessions.

OpenText recommends that you change the template associated with an application version only if no results have yet been processed for that application version. If you change the issue template for an application version for which results have already been processed, Application Security does not recalculate the issue metrics and metrics generated based on the previously assigned template are unavailable and cannot be deleted.

To change the template associated with an application version:

  1. Sign in as either an Administrator or Security Lead.

  2. On the header, select Applications.

  3. Select the application version you want to modify.

  4. On the toolbar, click PROFILE.

  5. In the APPLICATION PROFILE dialog box, click APPLICATION SETTINGS.

  6. In the Version Settings area, click the edit button .

    Changing the template can alter the metrics calculated for the application version. Existing metrics are not recalculated.

  7. In the EDIT VERSION dialog box, click the TEMPLATE tab.

    In the list of templates, the currently assigned template is marked as selected.

  8. Select the check box for the template you prefer to use for the application version.

  9. Click SAVE.

After you change the template, Application Security invalidates any auditing session of the affected application version (for example, by a different user) and displays a message to advise you that the application version audit session must be restarted.

Anyone using Fortify Audit Workbench to audit the affected application version does not see this information.
